Welcome back to The Food and Infertility Podcast! In today’s episode, I’m taking a laid-back, realistic look at some popular fertility nutrition myths and why they might not be as helpful as they seem.

Today, I’ll share my perspective on why sustainable choices and consistency matter so much more. Here’s a peek at what we’ll cover: Why the “cold uterus” myth doesn’t have to control your food choices How rigid meal plans can actually add stress to your life Why things like Omega-3s and olive oil are actually useful for fertility How to find a balanced approach to eating that supports your journey Whether you’re just starting or feeling bogged down by advice overload, I hope this episode gives you some clarity and helps you feel more empowered.
